Title: Integrity of foot-and-mouth disease virions bound to the cells
Author: J. YI, CH. LIU

Abstract: In this study, we examined the integrity of Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) particles during their binding to the surface of BHK-21 cells under physiological condition. For monitoring of the virus integrity we used blocking of the endocytosis with dynasore and cytochalasin D followed by RT-PCR for viral protein VP1 and the resistance of FMDV to the treatment of RNase A. Our results showed that integrin binding to VP1 did not cause a substantial conformational change in the viral capsid. Furthermore, treatment with RNase A showed no effect on the infectivity of intact as well as cell-bound virions. Our findings confirmed that FMDV entered the host cells in the form of intact virions.
